Budget Savings (Omnibus) Bill 2016; In Committee

I was wondering if the minister was aware: I know that the lawyers are not allowed to represent the veteran at the VRB. Does the minister actually realise it is cost neutral? All that paperwork he has to do on the outside, he could actually save himself the pen and the paper and be representing the veteran in the VRB, so then it is fair game against the other eight or nine lawyers he has against him on the other side. This is not fair.
